I think it's an interesting artistic choice that in the scene in 2 where Ellie kills Nora, it starts with Nora gasping and choking on spores and then realizing who Ellie is because she can breathe them And Ellie is breathing harder and harder before she lands the killing blow

I always think I'm missing something with TLOU. Since your first mission is to kill a ton of people I never got the sense that Joel was anything 'but' a monster so by the end I was like, "yeah, what did you expect?" It's been a while since I've played it though.
